LANDSCAPE & VISUAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 8.1 Introduction 8.1.1 This section of the EIA report seeks to establish the landscape and visual effects of the construction and operation of the upgraded Tsuen Wan Road. The assessment process identifies the current and projected baseline conditions, the effects of the road widening upon the landscape resource and visual receptors within the road corridor and the landscape mitigation measures proposed in order to reduce significant effects. 8.1.2 A description of the development proposals is included elsewhere in this environmental statement, whilst Figures 8.5 to 8.9 demonstrate the Conceptual Landscape Layouts. 8.2 Standards and Legislation 8.2.1 The following legislation, standards and guidelines are applicable to the appraisal of landscape and visual impacts and the design of mitigation measures in Hong Kong: • Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (Cap. 499. s.16) and the Technical Memorandum on EIA Process (EIAO TM), particularly Annexes 3, 10, 18, 20 and 21; • Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines Chapter 10, ‘Conservation’; • Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines Chapter 4, ‘Recreation, Open Space and Greening’; • Works Branch Technical Circular (WBTC) No. 25/93 – ‘Control of Visual Impact of Slopes’; • WBTC No. 25/92 – Allocation of Space for Urban Street Trees; • WBTC No. 17/2000 – Improvement to the Appearance of Slopes; • CED (GEO) – GEO Publication No. 1/2000 – Technical Guidelines on Landscape Traetment and Bio-Engineering for Man-made Slopes and Retaining Walls; and • WBTC No. 7/2002 – Tree Planting in Public Works. 8.2.2 The assessment method has, however, been further refined in accordance with contemporary guidance. EIAO Guidance Note No. 8/2002 – Preparation of Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance. 8.3 General Approach 8.3.1 For the purposes of the environmental assessment process, a clear distinction is drawn between landscape and visual impacts: • Landscape impacts: relate to the impacts of the proposed Scheme’s construction and operation, upon the physical characteristics or components of the landscape. Together these form the character of that landscape e.g. landform, vegetation, and buildings. • Visual impacts: relate to the changes arising from development to individual ‘receptors’ views of that landscape e.g. local residents or passing motorists. Final EIA Report 8-1 Agreement No. CE 69/2001 (HY) Scott Wilson Ltd Tsuen Wan Bypass, Widening of Tsuen Wan Road between Tsuen Tsing October 2008 Interchange and Kwai Tsing Interchange and Associated Junction Improvement Works Environmental Impact Assessment 8.4 Terminology 8.4.1 Landscape – comprises those physical components, which together form the appearance of land, including its shapes, colours and textures. Landscape also reflects the way in which these various components combine to create distinctive landscape character, particular to specific localities. 8.4.2 Study Area – is the area within which desk and site surveys have been carried out when determining the extent of the influence of development upon the adjoining landscape. 8.4.3 Zone of Visual Influence – the extent of the Study Area is principally determined by the definition of a Zone of Visual Influence (ZVI), within which views of the proposed development may be achieved. The extent of the ZVI is determined by many factors including topography and intermediate visual intrusions such as buildings and blocks of woodland, which create areas of visual “dead ground.” 8.4.4 Landscape Character Areas – Landscape Character Areas (LCA’s) are areas of homogenous landscape character. Typical landscape components defining character include land use, built form, landform & vegetation. 8.4.5 Visual Receptors – within the ZVI key viewpoints from publicly accessible roads, footpaths and other open spaces are identified e.g. Tsuen Wan Park. Individual visual receptors groups within the ZVI are also identified and categorised in terms of their sensitivity to visual change e.g. local residents and passing motorists. 8.4.6

    For Discussion on 8 December 2003 Paper for Joint Meeting of the Panel

    CB(1) 511/03-04(02) For Discussion on 8 December 2003 Paper for Joint Meeting of the Panel on Planning, Lands and Works and the Panel on Environmental Affairs The Administration’s Response to Views Expressed by the Deputations at the Public Hearing on 27 November 2003 Purpose The Panel on Planning, Lands and Works and the Panel on Environmental Affairs held a joint meeting on 27 November 2003 to listen to the views of the community on the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) and the Wan Chai Development II (WDII). Representatives from 20 deputations attended the meeting and gave their views, mainly on CRIII. As the views expressed were rather diverse, we have summarised these under a number of key areas for the purpose of providing a consolidated response. A separate paper will deal with the more specific concerns relating to the Central – Wan Chai Bypass (CWB). (1) Engaging the Public in Proposed Harbour Reclamations 2. Several deputations have expressed the view that a partnership and collaboration approach should be adopted by the Government in any planning process and that the Government should effectively explain to the community the need for any reclamation. 3. As we have pointed out in previous submissions on the chronology of events relating to CRIII and WDII, there are elaborate statutory processes in place ensuring public input to planning and development proposals. In the case of CRIII, the community input has resulted in a significant reduction in the size of reclamation and the drawing up of a minimum reclamation option that was then considered acceptable by most objectors.

    Review on Hostel Point System 2021/22

    香 港 中 文 大 學 崇 基 學 院 CHUNG CHI COLLEGE THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG NOTICE From Student Hostels Committee The Committee reviews the hostel point system every year. With the help from students in Chung Chi College Student Union last year, the points for all areas in the hostel point table were reviewed via the web mapping service of Google Maps since last year in updating the hostel point table: 1. Reference route : basically the fastest route recommended by Google Maps will be chosen as reference, if there are more than one routes with similar travelling times, the route taken by most residents will be chosen; 2. Points : it would be calculated by dividing the number of minutes needed for transportation by three (except those for the Islands and overseas districts); 3. Individual differences : the points apply to all applicants who live in the same district. Significant variation in walking time or individual special circumstances could be stated in the application for Personal Reason Special Selection. If there is any comment on individual item, or any new information on transportation and routes, please send to Chung Chi College Student Union, through email at [email protected] with title “hostel point review” before January 31, 2021. Information received after January 31 may not affect the hostel point to be used in application for hostel in 2021/2022. Thank you!

    Annual Reports and Note 25 to the Accounts in Respect of the Group's Contingent Liabilities

    Chairman's Statement Chairman and Chief Executive Gonzaga W J Li Since the fourth quarter of 1999, the economy of Hong Kong has been recovering gradually, with unemployment declining and domestic consumption increasing. Since the fourth quarter of 1999, the economy of Hong Kong has been recovering gradually, with unemployment declining and domestic consumption increasing. Growth in tourist arrivals and the inflow of investment capital continue to stimulate business activities. Hong Kong's projected GDP growth continues to be more encouraging than expected. While further interest rate increases in the first half of 2000 are expected, market sentiment, boosted by cyber developments, the Disney investment and ample liquidity in the banking sector, remains positive and should continue to underpin the recovery of the economy. China's probable accession to the World Trade Organisation will benefit Hong Kong and the Greater China region. Corporate Results For the year ended December 31, 1999, Group profit attributable to shareholders was HK$3,216.5 million, an increase of 72 per cent. Earnings per share were HK$1.39 compared with HK$0.82 for the preceding year, an increase of 70 per cent. An interim dividend of 28 cents per share was paid in November 1999 and the Directors recommend a final dividend of 50 cents per share to be approved at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Property With the recovery of the Hong Kong economy, the rental market has been improving visibly. Vacancy rates in Hong Kong have dropped significantly overall, with the huge supply since 1998 largely absorbed. There will be very limited new supply of Grade A office space in the next several years and a recovery of office rental levels is expected to take place in the second half of 2000.
